Slaved to a Devil [lesbian] novel Chapter 15

Elise

“My real name is Elizabeth,” she tells me, her eyes closed and her face now filled with peacefulness, back to its pale complexion and soft porcelain skin. After both of us had calmed down Lauren or Elizabeth started to tell me about herself and how she is what she is and so far everything kind of makes sense. She told me about an old woman wanting revenge on her unfaithful lover, killed Lauren’s family and cursed her to what she is now. “Elizabeth Backshall, however I’ve had to change it as the decades go on to avoid suspicion. So I guess this decade it is Lauren Davids.”

“So what was happening to you before, when you were changing physically?” I ask, my voice still croaking in some areas.

“It happens when I face an overwhelming amount of anger, and yes I know what you're about to ask; I always seem angry so why aren’t I always like that.”

I mean she has a point.

“When the anger becomes too hard to control, my devil side as I like to call it, takes over and basically would like to kill anything it sees.”

“Like a werewolf?”

Her eyes open instantly and a roll gently while a smile grows on her lips. “You know I should have expected a question like that. And no, I’m much cooler than a werewolf; I can control each part of my change outside of the times the anger is too much.”

“So what can you do besides what I have already seen?” A mischievous smirk replaces her gentle smile as she watches me. “No I don’t need demonstrations, just tell me.”

This must have been the thing that she was planning because the smirk drops instantly.

“Fine but I think the demonstrations would have been more entertaining.”

She breathes deeply and releases before continuing.

“Well, I have the ability to grow or manipulate certain limbs and do a bunch of other things but those don’t really matter because you are about to fall asleep.”

My eyes peeled open, not realising that they fell shut.

“No I’m not,” I protest, but knowing that I would lose already, because I’m sure I look like hell and the fact that sleep has been avoiding me for days.

“Stubborn as ever, but if you don’t want to sleep yet then we can talk about what was bothering you before,” she suggests, her eyebrows raising in a playful manner.

“You’re right,” I say, nodding and putting on a thoughtful expression. “Sleep does sound better.”

Her eyebrows drop along with the rest of her face, as I close my eyes and roll into her, pushing my face to her chest.

She hums before rolling out from under me, dropping me to bed without her warmth.

“Where are you going?” I ask panickedly, suddenly more awake. “Lauren?”

“To persuade you,” she simply says and crawls on top of me.
